Statement of Interest

This sundial was apparently made by Andrew Heron, for whom Bargaly

House (see separate listing) was built. The dial bears Andrew Heron's initials and those of his first wife, Mary Graham. The dial could be commemorating either the marriage of Heronand Mary Graham in circa 1678 or the Heron family's move to Bargaly in 1691. The sundial used to be located in the Walled Garden; it is now situated nearby Bargaly House, to the SW. There is another sundial dated 1828 (see separate listing) at Bargaly.
